What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
It is also called Kashi in India (Kashmir). In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They just moved to another city.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
Then, where is it? Well, it's in Switzerland!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to learn more about mysteriously disappearing towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How does one place go extinct?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. Another theory suggests that the town has never existed.

What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. But we don't have to fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's take a closer look at some of the less-known, yet still very real Hollywood secret clubs.
You'll see why they are so important.
Why do actors end up on the blacklist?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. Actors are likely to be rejected often. You will find someone who loves and accepts you eventually.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. However, most actors aren't interested in making money. They love acting, and they love telling stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
Sometimes you may be told by the audition panel that you are too young, too old, or wrong for the role. Or, you could lose out on a role in a movie. It happens all the times.
However, once you have been cast, it is possible to face criticism. People may tell you that your makeup looks terrible and you shouldn't use it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes it's because you play a character that's not realistic or authentic. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. You could also play a woman with a tendency to cry a lot, even though she's supposed to be tough.
You might be asked to change the sound of your voice. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. They usually want you sound better.
To ignore criticisms is the best way to respond. Actors feel like they've failed when told they did wrong. But they're not guilty of anything.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. Sometimes they don't fit that bill no matter how hard or if they try.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Others still believe that actors cheat.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are plenty of roles out there, and you'll find them.
You'll succeed as long as you keep trying.

American history secret societies and clubs
For many reasons, secret societies and clubs of American History are fascinating. One reason is because of the mystery surrounding them. Their impact on our society is another reason.
American history has seen secret societies and clubs used to promote ideas that were otherwise taboo. Some of these ideas include racism and anti-Semitism. These groups also helped spread political ideologies such as communism and socialism.
The Ku Klux Klan is America's most well-known organization. This group was created in 1865 after the Civil War. Its purpose was to protect white men from African Americans.
The Knights Templar and Freemasons were also created during this time. They all had similar goals and beliefs.
Another fascinating aspect of secret societies was that their memberships were often limited to males. However, some women belonged to these groups. These women were Emma Goldman and Margaret Sanger as well as Susan B Anthony.
Not only the above mentioned groups, but also other secret societies didn't share the same ideals. The Order of Skull & Bones for instance was founded in 1832. Their goal was to create an elite class within the United States.
